Linkin Park celebrate the birthday of some cars

Linkin Park are currently marking the 50th anniversary of Mercedes’ high performance car brand – Mercedes-AMG – for some reason. Actually, is says here that the band and brand have been “partners in performance” since 2015, so it makes total sense. It makes total sense, right? I’m just going to carry on and pretend I understand.

“Our brand has stood for performance, perfection and passion for 50 years, and that’s also what Linkin Park stands for on the stages of the world”, says Mercedes-AMG’s Tobias Moers. “In our 50th anniversary year, we intend to not only celebrate, but also to continue working successfully on the performance of the future”.

If you thought that sounded like utter nonsense, wait until you see what Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington had to say about it: “Performance is in our blood, and with Mercedes-AMG we have found the perfect partner for our passion”.
